BACHELORS BONDAGE.
A Gloomy View of the Social Obligations
of Unmarried Men.

Oh DnmdrTleu meD'
The married men can never, how
ever great his matrimonial infelicities,
be the slave of more than one woman
at time, except, perhaps, when his
mother-in-law occupies the spare
rooms which, however, will only hap
pen very occasionally unless he is a
worm and no man. The bachelor is
the slave of society-of society with a
large capital S. yi&e bachelor, be be
young or old, rich OF poor, is in bon
dage to the social circle in which he
moves. He can no more withdraw then
certain distance from the center OF
that social circle than one of the raG:i
of any other circle can produce its own
exterior extremity to point external
to the circles circumference. If he
attempts to do so he incurs the social
penalty-society simply drops him.
CGlebs may not be a society man, but
if he does not wish to be left in utter
solitude, save for the presence of his
landlady's eat, he must do his social
duties Celebs may suffer from a
deficient action of the gastric juices,
but he must dine ont when he is asked.
The lamented Major Pendennis, when
dining at Lady Agnes Foker's, invari-
ably swallowed his glass of Foker's
entire, although, as he told his nephew,
Arthur, "all beer disagrees with me
confoundedly." Celebs may hate
Waiting, but when society happens to
be short of dancing men CGlebs must
waltz until the weary musicians have
played the very last bar of the very
last extra" and society is graciousIy
pleased to 90 to bed. Meanwhile,
CGlebs' brother, ''who is married,
poor beggar," as Cglebs pitingly says
of him, is snoring safely at home, and
will be up to breakfast at $3.50 o'clock,
and off to the temple or city Just three
hours before Celebs wakes with n
mouth like hearth-rug Gnduccd by
society's champagne), head to match,
a temporary paralysis of the
muscles OF the right arm,
due to the effect OF supporting about
seventeen of the fairest (and heaviast)
of society's daughters through what
the penny novelettes call ''the ma ,es
of the dance" But that is merely one
example out of specimens nnumerahle
which might be taken. As the clier is
of the Roman patrician dawdled, per-
functorily, in the great mans hall until
he was graciously pleased to signify
which particular pair of his boots =
metaph orically-wanted backing; as
the attendant cavalier (who was gen.
orally bachelo) waited upon the will
and pleasure of the grande dame of the
eighteenth century; even so does the
slave of society attend upon her high
behests, and woe to him if he fail to
do them London Globe.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
Ny mothers weary hands,

My mothers weary hands
Their praises let me speak;
They have held loves golden bands
SO long-they are thin and weak.
They are tremulous now, and slow;
But, to me, they are just as sweet
AS when. long ago,
They guided my baby feet.
They have old and wrinkled grown;
But, TO me, they are Just as fair
AS when they clasped my own
And folded them first in prayer.
They have toiled thro' patient years,
While no one praised their deeds;
They have wiped most bitter tears,
And supplied unnumbered needs.
They have heavy burdens borne,
When manhood's strength has failed;
TIey have soothed the hearts that mourn,
And inspired the hearts that Quailed.
The naked they have clad;
The hungry they have fed;
With tender touch, and sad,
They have laid away their dead,e
Mothers hands are thin and old;
But their every touch I'll love,
Till they clasp the harp OF gold
That awaits their touch above.

The EARN HAND.
How Agricultural LabOrers Can Create .
Demand for Their Services.

I
Demand for Their Services.
Give the farm hand to understand
that you have high appreciation of
good work and that nothing on earth
is more provoking than to have the
stock half fed. the gate left half open
and the horse .ntied. Tell him half |
cord of split wood is not worth one
half what a well-nailed sixteen-foOt |
fence board may be on a cow-yard |
fence. Tell him You want your chores |
done before he hoes potatoes, saws
wood, votes for Jones or goes to a
funeral. Call his attention to the barn
door motto of a shiftless neighbor:
"Out of nothing something comes"
Tell him bushel in the feed box is
worth two in the bin. Tell him you
love the man that thinks.
One farm hand is now and then pro-
nounced good" because he could
pitch more manure and shovel more
dirt than any other man. This same
fellow goes one hundred and fifty rods
at eleven o'clock to get bolt for his
corn cultivator, while another man
across the way saves an hour valuable
time of himself and team by using
strap on the harness. One man has
thought, the other brains. One earns
(PO ten dollars and the other gets
eighteen dollars q month. Did you
ever stop to think what poor farm
hand can lose in year?
He can lose the axe off the bob-sled
in going to timber, and the end-board
to the wagon-box in going to mill. 1t
is just as easy for him to lose as it is for
a mosquito to bite. And then again he
can forget more in one day than you
can think of in week. He can exhibit
his strength by breaking a twenty-five
cent fork-handle in pitching hay and
display his weakness by setting steel
trap for weasel and catching a three
dollar hen-dead He makes a dollar
for you to-day and loses it tomorrow.
Such farm hands work for money,
not honor. They get little of one and
none of the other. If they live hun
dred years they will have worked in as
i, many counties. Take their inventory.
In 1879 it reads a pocketbook, jack
knife, pair of overalls, white shirt,
a necktie and pair of metallic-tipped
brogans. In 1886 they have got just as
much inventory and less pockctbook.
The picture is not overdrawn. Every
word means column and every line ;
volume. If the employed perfectly
understood his situation he would en-
deavor to get reasonable increase il
wages by showing his neighbor anC
employer that the quality of his worl
demanded it. This he could do with
out the use of Webster's unabridged
His recommends arc lying all arourS
4 The coin=feld, the hay-stack, the barn
yard and the garden patch all speak il
his behalf. Every farm hand cal
create demand for his labor. Prov
your ability and every farmer will b
after you. B. Muncey, in DetrO'
Free Press.

suffered for several days and then went
with his club out of town. At Seattle,
he and Timmons, the pitcher, slept to-

of pitching, threw out one arm and
struck Coulter a very hard blow on tho

conscious and remained so for several

GRASS FARMING.
Mixtures OF Varieties That Will Produce
Profitable Crops.

PrOntaDle crops
The raising of grasses or hay is be-
coming more and more common in the
West every year In many of the States
which were called Western States, are
no longer such now. Wide expanse OK
prairie has been cut up into farms, and
what was called an inexhaustble soil
is to-day admitted to be like all soils,
capable of exhaustion. On these lands
many farmers have come to realize
that continual cropping with grain isa
final impoverishment and they are
adopting the practice of raising grasses
to q greater or less extent as have their
ancestors in the New England States
for one hundred years, and in the
mother countries for centuries.
There are so many desirable quali-
ties in the ideal meadow or pasture
that no single grass has been found
that will fully satisfy the progressive
farmer In some of the older shires in
England as many as two or three dozen
different varieties of grasses are in usa
on one farm. And proportionate adj
mixture of seeds of valuable grasses is
done with great intelligence. In the
older parts of this country it is already
admitted that grasses which ripen
early and late, with Others that mature
between, are requisite Tor pasturage;
and as more and more experiments are
made in this direction, it is found
profitable to have wider variety Of
grasses for moving than was formerly
thought necessary. .
Not only does the quality of the feed
improve by variety, but droughts are
oftentimes overcome, and seasons for
cutting made later, earlier or both, SD
that two crops can be harvested where
but one was obtained under the old
method of seeding. The 1886 bulletin
of the Iowa Agricultural College re-
marks that farmers of the State would
do well to experiment with greater
variety of grasses, as there are many
valuable kinds not in cultivation which
could be raised to advantage, and
names the following mixtures: Red
clover and orchard grass, 80 pounds Of
the latter to Is of the former; tall
meadow oat grass and red clover, 90
pounds and Is respectively.
This admixture is found to blossom
the last of May, and when mown early
in June the clover stood go inches high
and the oat grass feet. About IS per
cent. of this hay was red clover, 10
per cent. tall oat grass and 10 per cent.
orchard grass which had crept in. Be-
ing on an exceedingly rich piece Of
ground, it was estimated to produce at
the rate of II 81 tons per acre of dry
hay. Beside this second and third
crops of % and II inches were produc-
cd and the grass showed in every way
their adaptability to each other for
meadows,
Tall meadow oat grass and timothy,
10 pounds each and 20 pounds of or
chard grass, was found to be poor
mixture on account of the difference
in the time of ripening, and this was
true Of a variety of mixtures which did
not seem to be adapted to each other.
The mista-e of putting such grasses as
timothy which blooms and natures
late with orchard and other early ripen-
ing grasses, was very apparent-Fdrm
and Lone.

The New York Herald says: "When
Matthew Arnold declared some months
ago that the people of our Southern
States were not in sympathy with Irish
home rule he fell into an error, which, at
least, 80 far as Virginia goes, is clearly
shown in another column" To this the
Herald might have added that every
American who has the slightest respect
for the Constitution of his country and
the institutions of the republic, heartily
sympathizes with the movement in favor
of home rule.-Atlanta Constitution,

The free trade idea is to put all people
on the same level. Let the Canadian
fisherman sell his fish in American ports
on the same terms as Americans. Let
European manufacturers employ their
cheap labor and send the product to the
United States, where it shall be placed
ia the market and sold on the same terms
as American products are sold. The
result would be comparative prosperity
for these countries thus provided with
market for their products; but what
would be the effect upon American in
dustries? The free traders have no an
swer for that question. Their view is so
broad that it sweeps the distant horizon,
but overlooks objects nearer home,
Francisco Call. (Rep.)
As to the policy of the Church under
the new law, 1T is indicated in two
sentences of the epistle: Understand
ing fully, therefore, all the consequences
they who do so have generally resolved
to take the oath, rather than be the
victims of political demagogues. But
this willingness does not divest the oath
of ofitsenormity or unconstitutional charar
ter" The plain inference is, that the saints
who take such an oath under pressure
are not morally bound to live up to it.
Perjury committed in holy cause, and
under duress, is venal sin. We may
therefore expect to see the nass of the
Mormons take the test oath, and break
it whenever they think they can do so
with impunity. .--[New York Mail and
